divided the "presentation / tasks" into different topics

[uktous]

Hi,

Question:
Should I use "presentation or tasks"?
If both words are incorrect, can you suggest a correct one?

Sentence:
I divided the presentation / tasks into different topics, eg, history of the firm, recent news and the future.
I allocated 2 topics to John.

My opinion:
I feel it is strange to say "split the presentation into topic". However, if I use "tasks", this will suggest "different topics constitute the tasks" which doesn't make sense.

Thanks

If you gave a presentation, then "presentation" is the right word.

I divided the presentation into multiple topics and assigned two to John.
